Mourvedre-Wine

The exact history of Mourvedre is still difficult to pinpoint but historians agree that it has its origins in Spain. It produces tannic wines with high in alcohol content, also used to make rose and port styled fortified wines.

It has the ability to ripen to high sugar levels which translates it to high alcohol content during fermentation. If thick-skin berries of Mourvèdre are harvested at high sugar levels it produces deeply coloured, very tannic wine with significant alcohol levels as they possesses high phenolic compounds.
